If I'm not mistaken, the shareware version contains the entire game; it just doesn't have the entire thing unlocked.

Not in the sense we think of it nowadays, no. It does have the full engine and feature set, but it has a different set of map data, based on the game's earliest levels plus a few minor details (the shareware warnings and such). You can upgrade to the full version by replacing the map pack.

This is different from the modern sense of unlocking, where the game actually has everything -map data and all- but hides some of it behind software switches. The shareware version of Quake actually lacks the data from the full game, even though the code is all in place.
